hi all, so last night i decided to swap out the gy6 motor from my old roketa and put it into my newer tao tao as the tao tao was extremely slow but in much better shape, somewhere along the line im assuming i got a vacuum line wrong because after shutting off the engine theres a hissing sound, other than that everything ran fine, i rode it to work today and while cruising at about 40mph there was suddenly a change in the noise (similar to that when your going down hill and you hit the max of what the engine can do) i slowed down and pulled over to notice oil leaking from somewhere behind the air filter box. i started up again as i wasnt far from work and there seamed to be a complete lack of drive, it idles fine and revs up just fine (although much louder than before) but there is no power at the wheel, rpms are up to about 8,000rpm while moving about 5mph.
havnt had chance to tear it all apart yet but will do when i get home, i intend on pulling parts from the other motor to try and avoid having to go back to the slow one and also putting the vac line where i think it should be. but if anyone has any idea as to what i might have blown while riding please let me know.
